AI Creator | xNetflix, xSesame Street

The feed is full of AI kids' videos. Most of it is slop: bright, loud, and teaches nothing.
Making the good kind still takes real work. It has to hold attention, actually teach, and ship fast enough to matter. AI changed the production math, so you no longer need a full team. But knowing which tools to use, in what order, and how to make them work together is its own skill. Miss that and you just add to the slop pile.
Dr. Carla Engelbrecht spent 25 years building 200+ interactive experiences for Netflix, Sesame Street, PBS Kids, and Highlights for Children. Now she builds with AI. In this hands-on class, she shares her complete production workflow: the tools, the prompts, the decisions, and the shortcuts that turn a script into a publishable video.
